Anti-Rh32 causing severe hemolytic disease of the newborn. 1984

A R Orlina, and P J Unger, and P A Lacey

A case of severe hemolytic disease of the newborn due to anti-Rh32 (R = N) is described. The infant recovered without any evidence of neurologic defects, following one exchange transfusion and phototherapy. Using commercial antisera, very weak reactions with anti-Rh2(C) and apparently normal reactions with anti-Rh5(e) were found in the family members carrying the R = N gene complex. However titrations with individual antisera revealed a weakened expression of the Rh5(e) antigen, albeit to a lesser extent than the Rh2(C). It is felt that the serologic findings are due to the fact that the R = N haplotype was paired with an Rh gene carrying normal amounts of Rh4(c) and Rh5(e) antigens. In addition, the maternal anti-Rh32 appears to be pure.

D004899 Erythroblastosis, Fetal A condition characterized by the abnormal presence of ERYTHROBLASTS in the circulation of the FETUS or NEWBORNS. It is a disorder due to BLOOD GROUP INCOMPATIBILITY, such as the maternal alloimmunization by fetal antigen RH FACTORS leading to HEMOLYSIS of ERYTHROCYTES, hemolytic anemia (ANEMIA, HEMOLYTIC), general edema (HYDROPS FETALIS), and SEVERE JAUNDICE IN NEWBORN.

D012203 Rh Isoimmunization The process by which fetal Rh+ erythrocytes enter the circulation of an Rh- mother, causing her to produce IMMUNOGLOBULIN G antibodies, which can cross the placenta and destroy the erythrocytes of Rh+ fetuses. Rh isoimmunization can also be caused by BLOOD TRANSFUSION with mismatched blood.
